New YORK, January 15.-Wall street
and railroad circles generally were anx-
iously awaiting the details Of the big
deal by which the Richmond and West
Point Terminal Company were to obtain
control OF the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia road. Conferences were
held during the day, and which lasted
until the evening, between the recently
appointed committee of the Terminal
directors and the Thomas Brice clique.
The latter hold $4,000 900 of the first
preferred stock of the East Tennessee,
Tor which, when they were negotiating
with Norfolk and Western people. they
asked par, while the latter were only
willing to give90. The Terminal people
have raised the money necessary to con-
summate the purchase from syndicate,
and they propose to secure those adj
vancing the money by issuing ten
year collateral trust bond. They do
not. however, want to pay all cash, and
offer TO give 10000 shares Of Terminal
stock at 40, and the balance, -, 400, 900,
in cash: basis, the terms of the purchase
of the S6,000,000 East Tennessee stock
at par. Several times during the day it
was announced by those on the inside
that the matter had been consummatcd,
hut late in the evening Mr.. Sully, the
president of the Richmond Terminal,
told your correspondent that, while the
matter was practically arranged and
would doubtless go through, there were
still some details that were not settled,
the final consideration of which would
go over until Monday, and that this
committee would have TO report their
action to the Board of Directors
for approval before the transac-
ton could be absolutely settled.
The Norfolk and Western people are
thus left ont in the cold, and it remains
to be seen if they Will carry ont their
threat to build line from Bristol to

Chattanooga, by which they also pro-
pose to tap Knoxville by means of a

AMUSEMENTS OF THE WEEK.
Robson and Crane at the Theatre
Nine. Melville at Academy.

On Wednesday night Messrs Robson
and Crane appear at the Theatre in
their engagement of four nights and a
matinee. They bring with them a very
attractive repertoire, including two Of

rors, with Robson and Crane as the

Juror last season for the elaborate and
beautiful manner in which it was pro-
duccd. 1t was booked last season for
the Richmond Theatre, but the dimen-
sions of the scenery were too large for
railroad transportation, and they had
to be slightly reduced in size.

Stops to Conquer will also be played
here.
The sale of reserved seats commences
tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.

Inthe way ofshocking things, fash
ionable profanity among wealthy
and refined girls may be mentioned.
While it has not gone to the extent
of the worst oaths from f;lminine lips
in good society; the mifder iInplc-
tives have come into piduant use
The evil began last autumn with u
vogue for quaint eXclanlations.-
These We're at first merely original
and curious, and the girl who could
make unique CALCULATIONS was there
by distinguished in her circle
Gradually the demand for stronger,
riskier language arose, and tho
license of fashion extended to almost
but not quite outright oatRs. Now
the genuine damn is not tfhcard in
boudoir and parlor of the belle, and
she exclaims, "My GodI' on the
slightest occasion. The latter of
fence is excused by some IN conse-
quenee of French precedent. Par

Wise Words.

10 have what we want is riches.
but to be able to do without is power.
There is no limit to the age at
which man may make fool OF
himself
Agitation is the marshaling of the
conscience of a nation to mold It's
laws.
What we call our despair is often
only the painful eagerness of unfed
hope.
A man who cannot mind his own
business is not to be trusted with
the Kings.
Anger ventilated often hurries
toward forgiveness; anger concealed
often hardens into revenge
No grander thing can man do
than to give helping hand to a
man who has become discouraged.
A mans nature runs either to
herbs or weeds; therefore let him
seasonGbly water the one and de-
stroy the other.
Talent, lying in the understands
ing, is often inherited; genius, being
the action of reason or imagination,
rarely or never.
Time washes away the customs
and opinions of mankind, but hui
man nature remains the same in It's
essential qualities or principles.
The man who is suspicious lives
in constant state of unhappiness.
1t would be better for his peace OF
mind to be too trusfuI than too
guarded.
All experience hath shown that
mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishiDg the
forms to which they are accustomed.

An old friend of the Ironton Reg
ister writes that paper from Wash
ington Court House, saying that d
year ago last fall there was not a
creamery in 0hio.-Now there are
in operation and in course of con-
struction so. No legitimate bust
ness will pay as large profits on
amount of capital invested as a
creamery will pay its stockholders.
1t is equally profitable to the farmer
and great Improvement over the
old way of disposing of the butter
product 1t removes half the druid
CORY from the farmers wife. 1t re
tains the income, not in store ac-
counts, but ready cash. Any fairly
good COW should pay the farmer
$50 net profit in a season of seven
months, and if Il creamery is loca-
ted in well pilled country that
will enable him to run the year
round the farmers profits per COW
will be permanently more. First
class butter COWS, such as Jerseys,
have made for their owners S75 to
500 net, per annum, in selling cream
to creameries. One advantage is in
skinned milk that may be fed to
calves and pigs. To make creamery
u success requires three things: A
live, go ahead business man, one
who looks upon cleanliness next to
Godliness, to run cremery; second,
the location must be central, and in
a wide-awake farming community.
interspersed with good roads; third,
the patrons must keep good cows,
provide the best of stabling, feed
with an unstinted hand, and in the
milking and care of the milk be
scrupulously clean. Nothing shows
itself so quick in handling cream
and butter so soon as dirt. Creamery
butter commands the highest price
in the market.-Yes, a creamery
will pay both the operator and
patron if properly handled.-The
operator must deal on square, and
make none but choice butter, and
the patrons must furnish good cream
and lots of it. 1t costs but fraction
more to make l 200 pounds ofbuttel
a day than it does to make SOC
pounds, SO the more cream you
furnish the creamery the more the
operator can pay you for your cream
